Transcript | The Story of Nuremt built, where money was to be advanced at a moderate percentage on property to people in difficulties. 11 was to be run at cost price, or, if there were any surplus, it was to go to the State. This was an imitation of the Italian system (Monte di Pieta) already in vogue at Augsburg—a system not without inter* the Englishman of to-day. During the Thirty Years War, the Jews in Fiirth, oppressed by the Imperial troops, asked to be rec back into Nuremberg. Some of the Council were ready to comply, on the receipt of a large payment, but the majority refused to have the "damaging rascals" within their walls. So long did the hostility towards the Jews si: here that it was not till 1800 that the regulation til done away with by which, in order to stop a d Nuremberg, a Jew had to pav a personal tax of 45 kreuzer, and, in addition, had to be accompanied by a guard, for he was not allowed to walk in the streets alone. This guard was usually an old woman, who followed her Jew everywhere for the consideration of 1 5 kreuzer. 54 |
